A Few words

~ Biography ~

My passion for cooking started at a very young age in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Although it started as simple as mac & cheese, I have prepared more than 500 various dishes across many regional cuisines.
My journey has taken me from one of my first jobs at Athens Greek Restaurant to my venture business Corby Hall that catered to special events with 20 years of experience.
I am a big fan of exploring the limitations of the palette and often experiment with new recipes.

In 2006, I moved to China and delved into learning various Asian dishes. My personal favourite being, Spicy Bullfrog and Prawns stir-fry.
Returning to Canada in 2019, I opened Corby Hall with a partner in 2023. My strongest areas of cuisine are Canadian, American, Italian, Asian (Chinese/Thai/Viet) and various seafood dishes.

Canadian + American Cuisine

Canada is famous around the globe for our beef, bacon, mac & cheese and French poutines. America is known for things like hamburgers, hot dogs and Tex Mex. Elevating these dishes is not only tasty and fun but can also add a sense of nostalgia.
